Parwal ki Mithai

Parwal ki mithai turns a familiar vegetable into a confection. The pointed gourd is peeled, opened and prepared until tender before being sweetened and filled with khoya, often accompanied by nuts or aromatics.

The pleasure lies in the contrast between the lightly structured green shell and the rich milk filling. It is also a reminder that categories such as vegetable and dessert are invitations rather than limits in a creative kitchen.
